They are heavy rifles. I took mine out for coyote hunting using a 60 grain (I think that's correct weight) A max bullets and took multiple past 300 yards but I was hammering them like I was using my .308 which was why I choose a .223 in the first place. Each shot anchored them but the rifle was so large that it was closer to nailing one then moving on to another ambush spot since when multiple came in there was no chance to acquire the second and take the shoot. Plus the amount of sewing I am now going to have to do... We hunted ridge lines in prone as a 2 man team and my spotter with his AR and shotgun got 3X as many kills as me.

These are great rifles but personally I feel they are more like range rifles or long range hunting rigs (or varmint). I will be replacing the barrel after I shoot this one out with a 22 or 24 inch and put on suppressor for long ramge. But in all honesty an AR might be more useful on coyotes unless you are in the desert and extremely well trained.
